In episode 2 of Chainsaw Man, “Arrival in Tokyo,” Denji wins a fight against his newly assigned partner, Aki Hayakawa, in the most expedient way possible: kicking him repeatedly in the balls. 2 “Arrival in Tokyo”) Image: MAPPA/Crunchyroll It’s a remarkable, dynamic sequence made possible through skillful key animation combined with impressive 3D camera mapping. One of the standout shots of the entire fight, and one which can be briefly glimpsed in the third trailer for the series, is when the Zombie Devil, in a fit of pain-induced desperation, grabs Chainsaw Man with one of his entrail tentacles to fling him across the room and smash into a nearby concert support beam. After a momentary pause, Denji wastes no time leaping into action, darting past the Zombie Devil’s defensive line of droning masses and propelling himself forward to pierce the Devil’s skull with his head-mounted chainsaw and arm blades.

The Bat Devil broke that rule, and now he’s a bat-shaped stain on the pavement.
